Blackline Live ZoneAware Feature Launching June 2026

Our new ZoneAware feature will available in Blackline Live on June 25, 2026!

We are excited to announce that our new ZoneAwareTM feature is launching in Blackline Live on June 25, 2026. ZoneAware lets you define site-specific areas on the Map in Blackline Live to gain deeper insights into your safety, productivity, and compliance. Whether you're managing hazardous zones or tracking emergency drills, zones will give you the visibility you need to act with confidence.

Zones

You can use the new Zones page to draw new zones, manage zone status, as well as view a list of all the zones within your organization. You can create up to 8000 zones in each organization.

You can also create multiple zones simultaneously using the Bulk zone import tool on the Bulk actions page. For more information about bulk actions, see the Blackline Live Technical User Manual.

Once created, zones are displayed across Blackline Live on the Map (Live View) page, the Map (History View), the Alert management page, and the Alert history page. The number of all online devices within the zone is displayed in the top right corner of the zone.

Mass Notifications

You can now send mass notifications to your zones. Once you have created zones, you can use the dropdown on the Mass Notifications page to send a mass notification to the users in a specific zone. This capability lets you immediately notify the most at-risk workers during an urgent situation, enhancing your evacuation planning and emergency response.

For more information about mass notifications, see Mass Notifications.

ZoneAware Analytics

To help you analyze what's happening in your zones, we are introducing a new ZoneAware Analytics report in Blackline Analytics. The report displays your zone data, including zone activity, movement patterns, and peak usage. These insights can help you make informed decisions about your resource allocation, workflows, and zone access.
